Investment Management

Investment management that sees the full picture

Your investments don’t exist in isolation. Forward coordinates your portfolio with your tax strategy, your goals, and your complete financial life — so every decision reinforces the rest.

The Problem

The status quo

Most investors are working with tools built for the 1990s. Here’s what that actually costs you.

Your investments ignore your taxes

Selling winners at the wrong time, missing harvesting opportunities, buying high-expense funds — the tax drag adds up silently every year.

Rebalancing is an afterthought

Most portfolios drift for months before anyone notices. By then, you’re overexposed in ways that don’t match your actual risk tolerance or time horizon.

No one sees the full picture

Your brokerage doesn’t know about your 401(k). Your 401(k) doesn’t know about your RSUs. Nobody is coordinating — and that gap costs you.

Our Approach

Forward’s approach

We build portfolios that know everything about you. Your tax bracket, your equity comp, your retirement timeline, your monthly spending — all of it informs how we invest. The result is a portfolio that works harder because it’s actually coordinated.

Your CFP manages your investments, files your taxes, and builds your financial plan. When one person sees the whole picture, they catch things no one else can.

  • Tax-first investing

    Every trade is evaluated for its tax impact before execution. We don’t just manage returns — we manage after-tax returns.

  • Direct indexing at scale

    Own individual stocks instead of fund wrappers. Harvest losses at the lot level, apply ESG screens, and avoid overlap with existing holdings.

  • Coordinated with your financial plan

    Your portfolio is rebalanced in the context of your full net worth — 401(k), RSUs, real estate, and all.

  • Continuous automated rebalancing

    No drifting for months. We rebalance when drift thresholds are crossed, not on a calendar.

  • One advisor, one fee

    The same CFP who manages your investments also files your taxes. Coordination is built in, not bolted on.
